MARYLAND TACOMAS

That's how we roll up in here and on the Lair. If we can't help do the work we get someone that can.

Randy's gonna be a unemployed civilian soon so I am just looking out for his Bud Light Orange funds.
Although Mike @Comatose said he thinks he has a bunker somewhere filled with it.

 

I still have two 12 packs of it I’m working on. But I just got some devils backbone Vienna lager as a TW express payment, so I switched to that for now.

 

@RobP62 i can't believe trusty want 13 foot of clearance clears from a power line. Normal separation is only a couple of feet on the pole.

 

That sexy TRD cat print edition

 

Now thats crazy!!

 

they dont actually want it, thats the "i want you to go away" quote.

 

That Vienna lager is nice stuff

 

Yea, the whole thing makes me sick. and mad as hell.

 

Anybody have a King Coilover Spanner wrench i could borrow for 10 minutes?

 

No, too poor.

 

Latest mod. +5hp at least

 

COOL!

 

could always run the lines yourself, call them up and tell them "either you can hook it up, or ill just do it myself"

 

Can I add "bitches" in there somewhere?

 

I have a spanner that fits my Kings, but it's not from King. I haven't had much luck trying to adjust my coilovers with them on the truck. I find it's easier just to pull them off the truck and compress the spring enough to spin the collar by hand.

 

When you do it do you jack the truck all the way up and lube the threads with WD40? Works well for me, up to a certain point.

 

I jack the truck up but never tried lubing the threads. I can get it to turn, but usually I get to a point before I get a full rotation that I can't get a hole with the spanner and can't get a punch in a hole to rotate it anymore. Or the pinch bolt is inaccessible with the c/o on the truck.

 

Lube helps a lot. And for the point where you can’t access a hole, I have a short piece of 5/16” punch I put it, and hammer it around with a 1/2” drive socket extension. Crude, but it works.

 

What is the fitting coming out of the c/o body for the reservoir hose on the OEM Kings? Mine have the swivel fitting, so it hangs down in front of the collar. The below pictures show it the best. From the orientation shown, I can spin the collar 180 degrees, but as soon as the pinch bolt is on the other side, I'm hosed. There isn't enough from to use the punch to move enough to grab another hole, and the pinch bolt area goes around to body too far to grab a hole on the back of the collar. I could probably get away with taking out the 3 top bolts and leaning the shock out, but haven't tried that yet.

 

Looks like that 5100 deal was too good to be true. Folks are starting to receive their packages. Getting random gaskets and washers and things from the vendor. My package shipped UPS and it weighs 0.10 lbs. I'm going to see what gets delivered before I contact Amazon, then my CC company.
